There is an absolutely beautiful song in Les Mis that is called 'The Turning' and it's right after *SPOILER* Javert dies *END OF SPOILER* and Marius gets hauled out of the sewer by Jean Valjean and all the women come out and sing it and they probably dance too, but I've never actually seen the play, just listened to the musical over and over and over. Anyway, this book has nothing to do with that song. This takes place in Russia, while Les Mis is in France. Though what's-her-name does travel to France. And she dances. And she's the great-niece/grand-granddaughter/distant relative removed a few times of the main character in "Angel in the Square".
